Getting a wireless internet signal can be shoddy at best, especially when you’re doing business on the move, which is why the AT&T USBConnect Quicksilver USB modem is perfect for when a timed-out connection is just not an option. The Quicksilver’s advantage starts with its compact design and quick-draw, four-click swivel mechanism that ensures it will work across multiple USB port platforms, and will stow away safely to protect its USB connector from damage. In terms of capability, it works across AT&T’s newly expanded 3G and HSPA network, seamlessly transitioning between their 3G BroadbandConnect and EDGE networks. Plus, installation is simply plug-and-play on both PCs and Macs. Another bonus -- there’s no need to constantly remember the number and letter series of a network key.

USB modems are basically a dime a dozen, with the real difference reflected in connection speed and consistent performance. Expansion of the AT&T network means that the AT&T USBConnect Quicksilver works in more places at the current pace of doing business, which now begins and ends with 3G speed. The ease of installation also adds to its uniqueness and cuts down the potential headaches of the businessman who doesn’t have time to go through complicated setups and frequent connection status messages to see his internet work well every time, and all the time.

The shelf life of AT&T’s USBConnect Quicksilver is helped significantly by the fact that its end can be tucked into its body, reducing potential breakage and making it possible to travel wherever there’s an internet connection. AT&T also claims it fits across all USB port styles and works on both PCs and Macs, which greatly contributes to its versatility. Add to that the 3G speed and you have the equivalent power that’s behind the magic of the next generation iPhone and other competing GSM handheld devices.
